A trip to Newport is not complete without a trip to the Salvation Army. As far as not accepting donations on site, I tend to side with the store. It is a small store, and I'm sure they get shipments of merchandise to sell from the larger collection locations that can accommodate the volume of donated goods. Another tip is to then head to the nearby vintage store Closet Revival. It is walking distance and the most amazing vintage store I've ever been to.

We know have Holden/Spike Dudley…read more It all happened with looking for a kitten on FOHA's website. A cute kitten caught out eye. We reached out with questions all answered in great detail. We completed an application online and left a payment. One of our close friends was then contacted as a reference. Next thing I knew we had a home visit scheduled which turned into Spike's first night at our home and a member of our family. It was an easy process and we have a kitten that is very easy going and great with our kids (but not so great with our shower curtain but that's just catnanigans!) Note: The adoption fee cost covered chipping the cat and neutering through a local Providence shelter

If you can avoid this rescue, I sincerely recommend you do so. We experienced a total nightmare. We…read moreadopted a dog and were assured he was good with cats. We fully disclosed we owned two cats, a 2 year old and a 16 year old elderly cat. They gave us the dog only three days after two major surgeries, but the foster gave us very minimal details about the medications and did not tell us he had been on a previous medication. The dog ended up having a paradoxical reaction to his medications, and I had to call the vet who did the neuter and cherry eye to figure out what to do. We had to keep him in a crate a lot for his own safety, because a cherry eye surgery needs the dog to be almost entirely activity free for two weeks. When the dog was able to be calm, I allowed him on the couch with me. He attacked our elderly cat twice, and every time he laid eyes on her, it was obvious he wanted to chase her down. One of these attacks resulted in my cat being bitten. The foster then tried to say he probably just put his mouth on her, but she cried out in very obvious pain. He BIT her, full teeth on her flesh. The foster also tried to blame my cat for the dogs behavior, stating it was her fault for not fighting back. She has been around numerous dogs, and none have ever treated her this way. Its inexcusable to say it was her fault. The foster was maybe the worst part of the whole experience. She was rude and condescending and even implied it was my fault my previous dog passed away earlier this year from a silent tumor that burst on his spleen. She also picked apart every single medical decision I made for my animals in a way that felt like I was being severely judged and looked down upon. We did literally everything in our power to save that dog. My husband and I feel that we were lied to, especially by the foster. This dog was not safe with cats, was highly reactive, and should not have been given the okay to come into our home. We were told he was polite with cats. The temperament and behavioral issues were withheld in a way that felt deliberate. It took over a week with multiple phone calls and emails to finally receive our money back.

I am writing to share my concern and experience with the Newport County Community Mental Health Center in the hope that others can make informed decisions about their care. The center's priorities focus more on time, billing, and strict procedural requirements than on patient care. I felt like a number rather than a person in need of help. Medications were prescribed with minimal background review, and little attention was paid to my overall well-being or personal circumstances. I came to the center following major depressive episode, seeking compassion and support. Unfortunately, interactions left me feeling even worse--disconnected and unheard. This letter serves as a warning and a call for change. Mental health care should be about people, not paperwork. I hope sharing my experience might encourage improvements in how clients are treated and supported.
